Jim: Yes I think my problem was that it was the last dbedit on the form. The next landing place was a button, but apparently that isn't good enough for the color setting to stick. I would have thought that exiting to a button would be a valid exit (the button is not a speed button). I can't rearrange the form, so locating a dummy editable variable field underneath the last field took care of my problem!
